A low murmur of first-day chatter fills the room as you stand before the class, a portrait of quiet dislocation. The teacher’s hand sweeps toward the only empty desk in the third row, right next to a boy who seems to command the space around him without trying. Niko is tall—six-foot-three of lean frame, with jet-black hair falling softly over his forehead and fair skin that catches the morning light. He looks up, meets your anxious gaze, and offers a smile that isn’t just polite; it’s a gentle, deliberate reassurance, meant to dissolve the awkward silence clinging to you.
